BACK TO THE WATER

What does a Refresh Course look like?

Embark on a day of discovery from 9:30 am to approximately 5:30 pm, where you’ll gradually rebuild confidence in the underwater realm.

09:30 Theory reboot

We’ll go over all basic notions of diving theory to refresh the memory. You probably remember everything but there are some concepts that may be rusty, so let’s go through them together! It’s a great opportunity to ask any questions and to gain confidence.

11:45 Set sail!

We’ll sail to the diving spot in our private boat, where you can chill, talk to other fellow divers and where your instructor will explain in detail everything about the site and marine life. We have fruit, cookies, tea and coffee for you to enjoy on the boat. Bring your swimwear, sunscreen, water and a towel.

13:00 Skill session

It’s time to make a splash! Our experienced instructors will guide you in shallow waters, ensuring you’re comfortable with all basic skills to ensure you dive with renewed confidence. Once we’ve practise all of them, we’ll start diving!

15:00 Fun Dive

You’ve mastered the essentials so it’s time to elevate your underwater experience and go for a fun dive. Now that you’re confident on your skills and buoyancy, all focus will be in enjoying and exploring Koh Tao’s beautiful marine life!

  Wir haben eine gute EinfÃ¼hrung von dem instructor Max bekommen und konnten unsere Kleider anprobieren. Danach mussten wir 2 Stunden warten, bis das Schiff kam, was sehr unnÃ¶tig war. SchlieÃŸlich ging es los, wir haben vieles wiederholt. Als wir ins Wasser gingen, ist Max einzelt mit den Personen die Skills durchgegangen, er konnte mich gut beruhigen und war auch geduldig.Kira war auch dabei und war auch sehr hilfsbereit und hat genau so ein guten Job gemacht. War eine tolle Erfahrung, Danke nochmals.
Ich dachte man bekommt unterwasser Bilder, war nicht der Fall.

  Gjorde Open Water 20 och tyckte verkligen om det. Utbildningen var grundlig och vÃ¤lformulerad och min instruktÃ¶r Ernesto var verkligen fantastisk och en hÃ¶jdpunkt. De tar verkligen sÃ¤kerhet pÃ¥ allvar och ser till att nÃ¤r du vÃ¤l hamnat i vattnet sÃ¥ kÃ¤nner du dig bÃ¥de bekvÃ¤m och sÃ¤ker. Kan starkt rekommendera att du tar ditt dykarcert hÃ¤r.
